Description

Compositions comprising PVA and certain herbicides with improved properties
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the technical field of crop protection. More particularly, the present invention relates to a combination of (I) polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and (II) a composition comprising one or more water-soluble herbicidal active ingredients and certain other components, which combination has improved properties, in particular with respect to rain-fastness and/or herbicidal efficacy. The invention also relates to the use of such a combination.
Background
Crop protection agent compositions can be formulated in many different ways, wherein the nature of the active ingredient and the properties of the formulation may cause problems in terms of stability, efficacy and applicability of the formulation. Moreover, certain formulations are more advantageous than others for economic and environmental reasons.
Water-based formulations generally have the advantage that they require a low proportion of organic solvents, or are not required at all. On the other hand, the distribution of the components in such formulations is often inadequate unless a suitable combination of adjuvants is used. The performance of such formulations is generally dependent on a large number of variable parameters, and if the resulting formulation is biologically active, stable on storage and desirable from an application point of view, it is not possible to simply select the components of the known system and combine it with the active ingredient intended for the new formulation.
Rain resistance refers to the ability of an insecticide (insecticide formulation) to withstand rainfall and maintain biological efficacy to a high degree. For most insecticides, rain immediately after application will remove most of the insecticide residue from the leaf surface. Products that remain on the leaf surface in higher proportions after rain allow even more insecticide to penetrate the leaves and provide weed control activity.
An insecticide is considered "rain-tolerant" after application if it is sufficiently dry, physically retained on the leaf surface, or has been absorbed by plant tissue, and thus is still effective after rainfall or irrigation.
The degree of rain resistance depends on many factors. Most important is rain water. All pesticide products require a certain amount of drying time between application and rainfall.
Some pesticide products are designed with adjuvants, which are materials added to the formulation to increase efficacy. Some adjuvants improve rain tolerance by enhancing the ability of the active ingredient to penetrate into the leaf or bind to the plant/leaf surface, and still have sufficient selectivity in herbicide tolerant crops.
Post-emergence herbicides are applied to weeds that have already emerged, an example being glyphosate. Traditional formulations of glyphosate require a drying period of 6-12 hours after application. Rainfall or irrigation during this period will reduce efficacy and require a second application.
Therefore, standard formulations are rarely suitable to meet specific requirements, and therefore extensive experimental work must be involved to develop a suitable formulation. Many herbicidal formulations comprising water-soluble active crop protection agent ingredients have been described.
Examples of herbicidal formulations comprising glufosinate-ammonium and certain surfactants are known from US 4,400,196.
US 5,152,823 discloses aqueous insecticides based on active substance-containing dispersions in combination with water-soluble active substances and comprising as surfactant a combination of an alkyl ether sulfate with an ethoxylated fatty alcohol and a sulfosuccinate monoester.
US 5,258,358 mentions liquid herbicidal compositions comprising glufosinate-ammonium salts and alkylpolyglycosides, optionally in combination with certain other surfactants.
US 5,332,714 relates to low foaming concentrated liquid aqueous formulations of plant protection agents comprising sulfate or sulfonate containing surfactants as wetting agents and certain other surfactants as defoamers.
WO 92/12637 discloses improved dry and water soluble glyphosate formulations.
US 6,713,433 teaches a liquid concentrate herbicidal emulsion composition comprising a water-soluble herbicide, an oil-soluble herbicide, a stabilizing amount of a water-soluble chloride, and one or more surfactants.
US 2005/0266999 and US 8,110,529 relate to concentrated aqueous formulations for crop protection comprising certain types of surfactants and ammonium or aluminium silicates.
WO 2007/092351 discloses stable concentrate compositions comprising a water-soluble herbicide ingredient, an alkyl ether sulphate, an organic solvent and an alkyl polyglycoside.
US 8,901,041 discloses low-foaming aqueous formulations for crop protection comprising anionic surfactants and specific silicone-based antifoams.
WO 2004/105916 relates to an aqueous concentrate composition comprising an agrochemical, one or more foam-initiating surfactants and a defoamer, wherein the defoamer is incorporated into the composition as a solution in an organic solvent.
ACS appl. mater. interfaces 2016,8, 14220-.
US 2,510,839 discloses an improved composition comprising 2,4-D petroleum oil of a specific viscosity and different sulfonates.
US 4,954,497 relates to certain acrylic morpholines which show excellent fungicidal effects even after rainfall after spraying over the known compounds.
WO 95/16351 and WO 97/00010 relate to surfactants that provide enhanced efficacy and/or rain-fastness to pesticide formulations.
US 9,374,996 provides a pesticide composition comprising a copolymer of acrylic acid, poly (alkylene glycol) (meth) acrylate and alkyl (meth) acrylate, which has high rain resistance and/or pesticide retention.

Biological examples
The Growth stages of the different weed species are described in accordance with the BBCH monograph "Growth stages of mono-and dicotyledonous plants", second edition, 2001, editor Uwe Meier, Federal Biological Research Centre for Agriculture and forest (Biological Bunkastanbut fur Land und Forstwitschaft). The corresponding BBCH stages are described below for different weed species.
In tables 01 to 07 below, for reasons of comparability of the test results, the percentage content of each test compound is by weight and refers to the absolute content of each test compound used, i.e. any diluent (e.g. water) present in the commercial products indicated above with trade names is not reflected in said content. For example, if Ammonyx M (25% aqueous solution of myristamine oxide) is used, the amount of 3% indicated in the table is the amount of myristamine oxide (and corresponds to the amount of 12% commercial Ammonyx M).
Greenhouse rain resistance test: chenopodium album (CHEAL) and Lolium multiflorum (LOLMU) plants were grown in 7 cm pots in the greenhouse until the appropriate developmental stage was reached (provided in the different results tables) and applied after selection of uniform plants. 400g of a.i./ha GFA SL196 formulation and a mixture of different test compounds and GFA SL196 formulation in a ratio of 400g a.i./ha and 10% by weight of test compound were applied at a water application rate of 300L/ha to a test apparatus 002 flat fan nozzle linear orbit sprayers. Six groups of plants were treated with different test mixtures and a reference containing a GFA SL196 formulation, with each weed species containing 4 replicates. The first group received no irrigation after treatment, while the remaining 5 groups received 5.5L/m 2 hours after the initial herbicide treatment2Irrigation. Irrigation was applied on a linear track sprayer equipped with 8005 flat fan nozzles in series at 1.5 bar water pressure, providing 5.5mm of rain for each group of plants. On day 14 after application (14DAA), the different weed species were assessed visually on a percentage scale relative to untreated controls (100%: all plants dead; 50%: green plant biomass reduced by 50%, and 0%: no significant difference: similar control plots) (for chenopodium, see tables 01 and 02).
In the second rain resistance test, the conditions were similar except that the rate of GFA application was reduced to 350g a.i./ha GFA. The concentrations of the selected test compounds were reduced to 3wt. -% and 5wt. -%, respectively (table 03 chen).
In a further rain resistance test, glyphosate (used at 540g a.i./ha GIPA) was mixed with POVAL 4-88 in an amount of 5wt. -% to be tested (Chenopodium album Table 04).

Field trials to evaluate weed control efficacy:
the compounds previously tested in the greenhouse and 350g of GFA a.i./ha were tested in the field, alone and in various combinations, to assess efficacy under field conditions. The sown weeds were applied in a replicated random whole block design. Test compounds were added to GFA SL196 formulation at a rate of 3% wt. -% and 5% wt. -%, respectively. The plots were sprayed with an application rate of 140L/ha and a hand-held spray bar. On day 14 after application (14DAA), the different weed species were assessed visually on a percentage scale relative to untreated controls (100%: all plants dead; 50%: green plant biomass reduced by 50%, 0%: no significant difference: similar control plots) (see table 05a, table 05b, table 06).
The effects on the following weeds (depending on the presence in each field) were evaluated: abutilon theophrasti (ABUTHON), Chenopodium quinoa (CHEAL), Avena sativa (Avena fatua, AVEFA), Chenopodium alpinum (Bassia scoparia, KCHSC) and Triticum aestivum (TRZAS).
